The National Gaming Authority (ANJ) announced on Friday July 17 that it was blocking access from France to the Polymarket news betting site, on which financial transactions had already been prohibited since November 2024.
Internet users nevertheless still had access to the home page which displayed “in real time and dynamically the odds associated with the various events likely to be the subject of bets”, according to the press release.
The ANJ considers that this can be assimilated to advertising for an unauthorized activity in the territory, hence the closure of access from now on.
